Hopefully nothing happens to them either. I feel bad for the families who lost anyone.. and the ones that have to deal with the injuries of the others. To think that someone, a psychiatrist, who helped those who were going to lose their own minds.. lost his.. to hurt those that he had helped before.. makes me want to cry.. but it shows..that <span style="font-weight: bold;">ANYONE </span>can lose it.. at anytime.. not just those that have mental problems, but also those that serve to protect us and our country and the stress that wars and conflicts put on them is major.. I know.. I have to deal with it everyday. Having my husband come home and be mad, sad, or flat out hostile sometimes.. because of what the military does to him.. and what he had to do overseas. It puts a strain on things, because I don't know what he's going through.. or how he feels. I just have to deal with it.. and try to help in my own way. Try to comfort him when I know it won't do any good because the next day will be the same. I get to deal with him kneeing me in his sleep.. and yelling at me in his sleep.. and stealing the covers (that part not from war.. he just does that!!) and him waking up with nightmares about shooting and killing people.<br /><br />I think this is making me more sad.. I'm done.. Goodnight.

I need to find a ceremony and reception place that we will both love before I can plan anything else.. because if I don't.. then I will spend hours and days looking at other things instead.. like dresses, favors, and cakes.. OH MY! I think this wedding is going to be really DIY! Because we are on a budget.. of which I don't know the amount... lol That will come later I guess.. after we move and start our jobs.</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pUg2Tuwq9Vs/SvIArISQqtI/AAAAAAAAAFY/QU0Uv60p5kc/s1600-h/IMG_452722.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pUg2Tuwq9Vs/SvIArISQqtI/AAAAAAAAAFY/QU0Uv60p5kc/s320/IMG_452722.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400379644129094354" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">Our house!</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);">Well I think that's it for now.
